The Bethesda Blog has word that in addition to John Carmack's previously announced midnight visit to the Mesquite GameStop for the RAGE launch, the id Technical Director will be joined by other id employees:

After long years of work, tonight the team at id Software will finally see its mutant baby RAGE running free through stores across the world. To celebrate, the team is heading down to their local GameStop midnight opening to hang with fans and sign some games.

If youíre in the Dallas area, drive on over to the Mesquite GameStop at 503 N. Galloway Avenue to join John Carmack (CTO), Tim Willits (Creative Director), Matt Hooper (Design Director) and other key members of the RAGE team. The crew will be arriving at 11pm Central ó donít be late!

OMG they're going to be at GameStop...those BASTARDS! They should be skinned alive for such treachery. Heathens I say!

LOL!

I don't like the idea of the engine figuring out the settings for me. This has NEVER worked well in the past with every game that tries to do this. I can almost always run at MUCH higher settings than the game detects.

Of course, this is an id engine so it will have cfg files and the drop down console. So it's all good.
